Gabriel Teodoro Martinelli Silva

Gabriel Martinelli attacks space, runs beyond the line, and drags defenders as Arsenal seek quick changes in attack. He thrives in rapid transitions. He joined Arsenal in 2019. That breakthrough season at Arsenal saw him score 10 goals and establish a pacey, high-pressing profile. He won Olympic gold with Brazil at Tokyo 2020, highlighting his sprinting and relentless front-foot pressure. A turning point arrived in 2025 when he scored a late goal against Real Madrid to push Arsenal toward the semi-finals. As an inverted left winger, Martinelli links play with one-touch layoffs and pins centre-backs, creating space and finishing moves for Arsenal.
